Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered this discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Partnership for the Digital Documentation of Ancestral Puebloan Architecture" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00222), as a cooperative agreement aimed at advancing cultural resource management work tied to Ancestral Puebloan architectural sites. The core purpose was to finish developing a digital documentation protocol and to pursue external funding that could help carry out the larger set of documentation and preservation responsibilities described in the Monument 2010 Resource Management Plan (RMP). In other words, the award was intended to help move the Monument from planning and standards-setting into practical, fundable preservation and documentation actions.
The project focus centered on Canyons of the Ancients National Monument (CANM) and the Anasazi Heritage Center, reflecting a partnership model that links field-based cultural resource stewardship with public-facing education and interpretation. The announcement highlights that the partnership would not only support the technical side of documenting and preserving architectural resources, but would also strengthen related programs such as education, interpretation, recreation, and tribal consultation. That combination suggests an emphasis on both protecting sensitive cultural resources and improving how those resources are understood and responsibly experienced by the public, while ensuring that consultation and engagement with Tribes is built into the work.
BLM planned to make one award under this opportunity. The estimated total funding was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $1,500, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was categorized under CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), and the funding activity category was listed as "Other," clarified as Cultural Resources, reinforcing that the work was squarely within heritage documentation, preservation planning, and stewardship support rather than, for example, construction or general research.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating BLM was seeking a university-based partner capable of bringing technical expertise (such as digital recording methods, data standards, and documentation workflows), along with the administrative capacity to manage a cooperative agreement and potentially leverage additional outside funding. The cooperative agreement instrument type also implies substantial federal involvement and collaboration during the project, rather than a hands-off grant where the recipient operates independently.
Timing for the opportunity was short. It was posted and created on August 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2013, and it was archived on October 11, 2013. Applicants were directed to download full instructions and the application package via the announcement's application tab. For access issues, the listed contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at BLM (303-239-3605, rraisane@blm.gov).
